Printer Job Authentication; Printer Job Types - Ricoh AFICIO MP C305SP Manual

Printer Job Authentication

Printer job authentication refers to the function of authenticating the user for printer jobs.
The drivers that handle user authentication are PCL or PostScript3. PostScript3 only handles User Code
authentication.
Printer Job Authentication Levels
• Entire
Select this setting when you want to authenticate all printer jobs and remote settings.
The machine authenticates all printer jobs and remote settings, and cancels jobs and settings that
fail authentication.
To print in an environment that does not support authentication, select [Simple (All)] or [Simple
(Limitation)].
• Simple (All)
Select this setting when you want to print with a printer driver or device that cannot be identified by
the machine or when you do not require authentication for printing.
Printer jobs and settings without authentication information are performed without being
authenticated.
The machine authenticates printer jobs and remote settings that have authentication information,
and cancels the jobs and settings that fail authentication.
Unauthorized users may be able to use the machine since printing is allowed without user
authentication.
• Simple (Limitation)
Select this setting when you want to restrict the range of [Simple (All)].
You can specify the range to apply [Simple (All)] by specifying a parallel connection or USB
connection and the user's IPv4 address. Also note that the range of the IPv6 address can be
configured from Web Image Monitor.
The specified range can be printed regardless of the authentication function. Any address outside
this range must be specified using the authentication function.

Printer Job Types

Depending on the combination of printer job authentication level and printer job type, the machine may
not print properly. Set an appropriate combination according to the operating environment.
When user authentication is disabled, printing is possible for all job types.
